Has anyone any experience on the ISM range of saddles? I've got a demo model from my LBS (Terry Weright Cycles, Market Deeping) and am intrigued. Looking at ISM's webpage, for what I want the Typhoon model might be the one to go for, but I have a Road on trial so I'll see how it is.

No joke here, but the best saddle I've had cost me 7.99 from Lidl

I'd like to borrow a Fizik Anteres or Fizik Aliante (standard or versus models) - can anyone help?

You still got this as saddle library loan Richard? If so, I'd like to try one and if the tape measure and some curious contortions are anything to go by, 143 is the right size.

If your saddle is giving you grief check your height ,tilt and setback as a few mm either way can make a heck of a difference.
